I'm not sure yes and no yes they should change the flag because it has nothing to do with aboriginal and the aboriginal we're here first so their should be part of the Australian flag and no because their is history in the flag and the English were only looking for land so I don't know what do you think well you know my opinion bye bye

It sounds that you are asking for the flag to be changed by taking in the aboriginal perspectives. How about the migrants to Australia? Are they represented in the flag's history?

I think the flag should be changed.Why? Becaus according to the Aboriginals it is unfair that the English stole their land.For example I think Captain James Cook would of said "This is English Land now".But it is Aboriginal valuable land. That's why I think the flag should be changed.

Should the government change the australian flag no they shouldn't because I'm sure the aboriginal people want there own flag. As soon as Britain came to our country they thought that indigenous people an aboriginal people were diffrent type of animal. If they change the flag and put the aboriginal flag on there basically making the aboriginal people apart of all of the other country's on the Union Jack. The australian flag is a big part of our history and all of the soldiers have saved our country with that flag so that's why they shouldn't change the flag

I believe that we should change the flag because Aboriginals need more respect and recognition. It is not fare that sailers from another country come to there country and take over. And that why we should change the Australian flag.

Australia's flag should be changed because our flag does not represent the indigenous people. Some may thing that the flag represents the the soldiers who have died in wars but that may never have happened if Australia never followed the British idiocy into wars that gained nothing but death. The only wars Australia has fought close to home we're in Papua New Guinean against Japan in WWII and in Vietnam in the Vietnam war. Also Britain is up in the Northern Hemisphere and Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere and have done nothing for Australia. This is why we should change our flag.

What's the point of merging the two flags it's not going to change anything the first people of the land will always have that history and that was because of the English.So I think that there shouldn't be Australian and aboriginal flag together because it won't change a thing ever

We shouldn't chandelier the flag because it represents the people that have faught over the land and the English was looking for more territory but there was people already there and the English was getting attacked so the Australia people helped and some of them died and the English people gave the Australia people the land so the Australia placed the southern cross on the flag. And we faught for the land and that's why we shouldn't change the flag

Should the flag be changed

No the flag should not be changed because the aboriginals were here first to set foot on Australia, and they deserve there own flag, and they do have there own flag.

Because if someone else set foot on Australia before the Aboriginals
So that's why I think the flag shouldn't be changed.

I think the Australian flag should get rid of British signs, this is why.

During the war against Germany, Britain verbally forced us to fight with them because we are a British colony, so they sent us to Gallipoli, to try & weaken the Germans by taking out Turkey, so many Australian lives wasted. they sent us to our death so why should they get a sign on our flag? They dominate our flag, our country & force us to do what they do.

The war wasn't pressing against us, it was against the British, but they forced us to help them, many Australian historian claim that the war in Turkey was a waste of lives & will probably agree with this piece of writing.

So that is why we should get rid of all British signs on our flag.

They should not change the Australian flag because the English were only looking for land in that time the race who has the most land is the most advanced race.But they should not of treated the aboriginal people the way they treated them because the are people too.that's why I think the Australian flag should not be changed.

Should we or should we not change the Australian flag. I can't pick, I think we should put something that represent the indigenous people of Australia but I also think we should keep it the same because people have died, not just at war but on the streets and at home. So should we or should we not change the Australian flag.

The Australian Flag should'nt be changed and should be changed because the aboriginals don't get included anough and the flag is important to our country.
The Australian flag has been there for all ausrtalians. We wear it, we fly it and we do everything with it. But are aboriginals included enough with our celebrations? The flag just has English written all over it.
Aboriginals claim that they should be treated evenly because the english invaded thier country and they need more respect for what they went through.
thats why I think the Australian flag should and should'nt be changed.

The Australian flag should be changed because the aboriganal people should have the right to be apart of the Australian flag and not have a separet flag because they were the first Australians in Australia. It is unfair that even England have a part of our flag and indigenous people don't. Even though they were living here with us i think it is stupendous about how we do not include them. And that's why why i think that the flag should be changed

We should and shouldn't change the Australian. This is the reason we should change the Australian flag. We should change the Australian flag because the aboriginal people were here firs. They were the ones living on the land peacefully. Imagian. Your on a holiday with your friends and family, and a enoumos ship comes. The people hop off the boat and tell you ''get off the island it's ours now ''. Would you be happy ? We shouldn't change the Australian flag because many solider fort for our country and make us have this land today. And thats why we should and shouldn't change the Australian flag

We shouldn't change the flag it's just a flag you should not take it to.We shouldn't change the Australian flag the reason why it's in our history.Sir Edmund Barton our first prime minister of Australia.
People made it you shouldn't touch it

Even if we Change the flag it will probably have the Union Jack on it anyway.So we shouldn't change it.it did play a big part of Australia it's come along way since the first prime minister.And that's why we shouldn't change it

Australia is a wonderful place but the flag hasn't recognise the first people on this island we're is the place on the flag our flag is made up of the Union Jack and the southern cross and the 7 slider star that is what makes up the Australian flag.On that depressing note I think that we should chandelier the flag.

I think changeling the flag would be bad because it represents the soldiers that have put there lives on the line to protect and save our country.
My research shows that that the Australian flag has been around for more than 130 years. You should also not change it because people might be offended by it in some way.
So that is why I think you should not change the flag.

I think they should change the Australian flag. The english men was taking over the aboriginals land. Aboriginal people were the first people on this land and they deserve the aboriginal flag to be on the Australia flag because they were in australia first. England is on the over side of the world. When England first came to australia they put an England flag up. This is not England this is the aboriginal land. England has there own big country, they don't need to take over the aboriginals land. So that's why I would vote to change the Australian flag.
